running executables in c code

hi folks,

i need to run an executable from a c program and i'm having difficulty obtaining the information on how to do so.
do I have to pass arguments to the command prompt?

i am compiling on windows 2000 using visual c++.

thanks in advance,
Cathal

try this...
int system( char *cmd );
